featuring watercolors by Rachel Collins and sculptures by Jessica Beels

Exhibiting:  July 7th - July 31st

Opening Reception and Gallery Talk:  Saturday, July 9th, 7:30pm-9:30pm

The soft colors and ethereal feel of these paintings and sculptures immediately transport you to the beach.  Shells and bones washed up by the tide, while intriguing enough as pure form, are even more interesting as reflections of what used to surround or inhabit them; their structure wholly revealed only after their original function has ceased. 

Rachel Collins’ watercolors and Jessica Beels’ paper sculptures explore the spaces in and around shells and bones as landscapes and abstracted forms, examining light play and shadows and revealing inner structures and hidden echoes. 

ArtSpace is extremely pleased to be presenting this exhibit by talented local artists.  “This is a wonderful summertime exhibit that will capture the imagination of all viewers and evoke a youthful sense of the wonder of nature and the forms and structures around us,” said Robin Carroll of ArtSpace.  Rachel Collins watercolors are beautiful and Jessica Beels’s sculptures are airy and light.
